High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Chapter 134 Purple Lightning Soul-Devouring Thorn! Acupoint Activation Plan!

End of the meeting.

You can also hear Yuan Guofeng's hearty laughter.

"Hahaha~ These guys, they take advantage of any kindness they receive; only a glare from them will make them behave!"

"Uncle Yuan, they haven't left yet."

"Hmph! What's there to be afraid of?! So what if we heard it?"

Yuan Guofeng was smugly discussing this with the bigwigs around him.

Bai Yu stood at the conference door, silently watching Professor Yuan in the distance, cursing, "Damn it! My Nine Heavens Thunderclap True Technique!"

Wang Wen laughed from the side, "Look at him! This guy isn't a good person."

"??? Is it really okay to say such bad things?"

"What are you afraid of?! Would he dare to touch me?"

"His Spirit Sea Realm."

But remembering Professor Wang Wen's shamelessness, he fell silent.

"Come on! Let's go to my lab and take a look at your broken tree."

"Hey! It's only been a few days, and my tree's already become an old hag?"

"Do you know how expensive it is to raise this thing? I'm currently investing at least 2 million yuan a day. And it'll definitely be more in the future! Maybe 5 million, 10 million a day. Who can afford to raise such a money-devouring behemoth?"

Bai Yu was stunned.

"Spending money like this!?"

"Nonsense! Look how thirsty that tree is, how much blood it drinks every day. These materials are free, aren't they? And to cultivate a genuine Dragon Blood Tree, the majority of the blood has to be pseudo-dragon blood. Otherwise, the fruit produced will probably only be called lizard blood fruit."

Upon hearing this name, Bai Yu's lips twitched.

That name is actually quite descriptive!

Bai Yu glanced at Professor Yuan, who was so smug he had long forgotten the true secret, and could only sigh, saying, "Alright, let's go take a look. I also have something to discuss."

Wang Wen's eyes lit up.

"What's going on? Could it be the industrial-scale production of acupoint-opening pills?"

"That's not all!"

Wang Wen's laboratory building is only one kilometer away from the Psionic Research Institute, and it's a short walk from there.

Returning to this somewhat familiar place, Bai Yu felt as if he had come home, and stretched.

"Hey kid, tell me, what good stuff do you have?"

"Didn't you say you were bringing me to see the dragon blood tree? Why the rush!"

"Come on, come on, you lousy tree, how could I possibly mistreat it?"

With that, Wang Wen led Bai Yu to the incubation room.

What he saw made Bai Yu somewhat stunned.

Generous crab gift!

Is this still my dragon blood tree?

Upon closer inspection, the dragon blood tree was already over 6 meters tall, with lush branches and leaves, its exterior a vibrant red. Moreover, leaves with red veins had already sprouted.

"It's only been a few days?"

Seeing Bai Yu's shocked expression, Wang Wen was also somewhat smug, saying, "How about it? Not bad, right?"

"That's really good! I just don't know how long it will take to see the results."

"Spiritual plants aren't actually as mystical as they're portrayed in cultivation novels. Three to five hundred years? Will we even live that long?"

"Actually, it's not much different from the time it takes for regular fruit trees. In fact, spiritual plants have a stronger absorption capacity, and as long as there are enough resources, they can bear fruit within 10 days! Your dragon blood tree might only need two or three months to bear fruit."

Hearing this, Bai Yu naturally became even more excited.

Otherwise, he might not need it for another three to five years.

"By the way! I've already finished writing the paper on your so-called Ten Spirits Tonic Soup. All that's left is to fill in the experimental data."

"Moreover, the Tianhai City government has provided a lot of assistance. Although the experimental data is not yet available, they are already planning to roll it out in Tianhai City."

"Once the paper is published, the income will reach a very substantial level!"

Bai Yu rubbed his hands together and asked, "How much can I earn?"

"I don't know either. But one thing is certain: the cash amount is estimated to be no more than one billion."

"??? Only this much?"

"Of course! More resources will be allocated to scientific research, which will be perfect for cultivating your dragon blood tree."

Bai Yu rolled her eyes.

Very meow!

Even if my dragon blood tree is incredibly gluttonous, can it possibly consume 100 billion?

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Oh right, I have two more great treasures in my possession."

Wang Wen paused in stroking his beard, then resumed, and asked smoothly, "What big treasure?"

His tone and expression were very composed.

"One is the industrially refined acupoint-opening pill, you still remember that, right?"

"certainly!"

But whenever he heard Bai Yu address him as "Old Man," he always felt that something bad was going to happen.

"The last one might be a bit more impressive."

After all, this is a universal cultivation method developed eight years later, applicable to martial arts! It can be used by everyone.

Wang Wen was somewhat excited and immediately asked, "What is it?"

"Qi Gathering Realm Technique!"

Hearing this, Wang Wen was stunned for a moment, then angrily said, "Are you kidding me? What's the use of a broken cultivation technique!"

"Hey~! The way you're talking is just ignorant. You know what? This cultivation method is for my own use, a universal Qi-gathering technique. If you were to write a paper on it, the title would be something like 'All Methods Share the Same Origin: The Origin and Evolution of Cultivation Systems'."

If it were anyone else, Wang Wen certainly wouldn't have taken it particularly seriously, but Bai Yu's words...

It must be really awesome?

But to say it's more powerful than industrially refined acupoint-opening pills? That's impossible!

How long have you been cultivating? You can't possibly be that knowledgeable about cultivation techniques, can you?

After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about I ask a friend?"

"??? You don't want such a big credit?"

"I'm afraid that if I publish this paper, I'll get hit by a car and die the next day!"

Bai Yu wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

He could only mutter to himself, "So, do you have a grudge against that professor?"

"That's true, a little."

"??? Stole your girlfriend?"

"!!!Hey!"

"I think we could do this: first, we can discuss the industrialization of alchemy. Then, I'll give you the cultivation formula, and you can personally handle the negotiations?"

"That's even better! Hahaha~"

He's already figured out how to deal with this guy.

"Oh! Speaking of which, this old guy is the one who gave you the Thundercloud Fruit and the cultivation plan."

"This professor cultivates spiritual plants, develops cultivation programs, and now he's even researching cultivation techniques. He sounds more advanced than you."

"Compare me to what?"

"Not quite as good as you."

"That's at least something to hear!"

"Um, where's my Thundercloud Fruit?"

"It hasn't arrived yet! Let's discuss industrial-scale alchemy first. See if my experimental environment is up to the task!"

And so, they were busy for a full three hours.

The main things to pay attention to during the process are temperature control, processing of the spiritual materials, and the timing of their addition.

Professor Wang Wen's laboratory equipment is quite impressive. The machine adds materials at the perfect time, and temperature control is incredibly simple.

In the end, one hundred pills were made.

This isn't some kind of immortality elixir; its industrialization success rate is 100%! We'll see about the yield rate later.

Without saying a word, Professor Wang Wen tossed one to try.

"??? Aren't you afraid something might happen?"

"Look at that! This requires knowledge. I know all about the materials and pharmacology used; at most, it'll just cause diarrhea."

Bai Yu glanced at the pill, but ultimately didn't dare to take it.

What if it gets spilled during patrol a few hours later?

How embarrassing!

After Professor Wang Wen ingested it, he began to circulate his Qi through the body.

This will accelerate the absorption of the drug's effects.

About twenty minutes later, he frowned, then his face lit up with joy.

"I just tried stimulating an acupoint, and it actually worked! Not bad! Not bad! This pill is effective, the formula is correct."

"Really? It works that well?"

"My acupoints were already about to open; I was just testing the waters. However, your prescription is definitely improved; it's probably 30-40% more effective than those on the market! But compared to those acupoint-opening pills made with top-grade ingredients, it's still quite inferior. However, its biggest advantage is its cost!"

As the conversation turned to his own field of expertise and his awareness of the future prospects of this acupoint-opening pill, Professor Wang Wen became increasingly excited.

"I estimate the cost of this one 'Acupoint Opening Pill' can be kept under 9000 Federal Credits. Similar pills typically cost at least 1, and their effects aren't as good!"

"We've made a fortune!"

"Haha~ If this were written into a paper and published, it would be incredible!?"

Bai Yu then asked quietly, "So, what did I gain?"

"From now on, whatever resources you need for your cultivation, you can come to me! I will do my best to get them for you."

Hearing this, Bai Yu felt very gratified.

Old man, you're pretty savvy!

"By the way, you said your cultivation method is even more effective than this?"

"Yes. The idea that all methods originate from the same source is no joke. I've been using this technique all along. On the first day after I awakened, I didn't know anything, so I just searched for acupoints and meridian charts online, and I was able to start practicing right away."

Wang Wen had no questions at this moment.

"Come on, write it down, I'll give it a try."

"No! I've been busy all day, and it turns out I haven't gotten the Nine Heavens Thunderclap True Technique, and I haven't gotten the Thundercloud Fruit either? Is the Thundercloud Fruit something you old bastard have been hiding and haven't given to me yet?"

"Oh, right! Right! I'll call Lao Yuan right away, damn it! I got the news about the Black Blood Case from you, and after waiting for so long, you didn't even bother to deliver the cultivation technique to my door."

"That old Yuan is an ingrate, you better remember that! You don't need to look for him anymore, just come to me. I'll call him right now and tell him to send it over right away."

As he spoke, he immediately picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, Lao Wang, what's up?"

Judging from the sounds on the phone, it seems like they're drinking; it's probably a dinner party to celebrate a victory!

"You old codger, why haven't you sent over the cultivation manual yet? Is this how you treat your meritorious servants? You'd better watch out, or I'll report you to the higher-ups!"

"Oh dear! Oh dear! I got carried away today. I'll have someone deliver it right away. No! I'll deliver it myself."

"No need, no need, just enjoy the meal. We'll have it delivered. My lab is currently conducting important research, so unauthorized personnel are not allowed inside."

Hang up when you're done.

Half an hour later, Yuan Guofeng personally delivered it, but Wang Wen had his disciple fetch the cultivation manual from the gate and then closed the gate directly.

In the surveillance video.

When Yuan Guofeng saw that Old Wang really wouldn't let him in, he started cursing.

He glanced at the food he had brought.

"Throw it in the trash can and feed it to the dog!"

"Just get rid of this old man's things, and have someone take that kid's in."

Inside the laboratory.

Bai Yu happily ate the spirit food that looked expensive, including the rare spirit beast meat.

While eating, he muttered to himself, "She really knows how to enjoy life!"

Unable to get the food, Wang Wen rolled his eyes.

The cultivation supplies in the picture he showed Bai Yu today have also been sent to the laboratory.

Bai Yu looked at the contents of the three special glass containers.

The first type was ordinary thundercloud fruits that crackled with lightning, about fifty of them.

In the second glass case, there are three Thundercloud Fruits crackling with golden lightning; to be precise, they are Thundercloud Golden Fruits!

The third glass case contains three lightning spikes, each twenty centimeters long.

It is made entirely of purple metal and has special inscriptions on its surface.

It was crackling with purple lightning!

"These three treasures are soul artifacts that can be stored in the soul sea! They all release soul lightning that can damage the soul. They are also crafted at the peak of the Spirit Origin Realm. That old guy gave them a pretty good name: Purple Lightning Soul Devouring Thorn."

"By the way, that old guy knows you, so this weapon was specially prepared for you! It's a perfect fit."

Bai Yu was quite tempted when he saw these things.

After considering the information about the Thundercloud Fruit, which was worth 5 intelligence points, he couldn't help but ask, "How do we use these Thundercloud Fruits?"

"It's all the same, just eat it directly. After eating, remember to quickly circulate your Qi throughout your body to absorb the enormous energy within."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu thought to himself: It should be normal to eat Thundercloud Fruit directly.

The intelligence report only mentions the Thundercloud Golden Fruit, so the method of consumption must be different!

It seems that money can't be saved when it comes to intelligence.

"And what about the training program?"

"The training program is here. I've looked at it; it's quite detailed. This old man is actually quite meticulous!"

As he spoke, Wang Wen handed over something that resembled a hotel menu.

Bai Yu took a closer look.

Acupoint training plan (50-120 points):

Impacting the Earth-level acupoint - Yunling acupoint: Recommended as a supplementary treatment.

Impacting the Earth-level acupoint - Tianlei acupoint: Recommended as a supplementary food.

]

It's clear that this training program is indeed written in great detail.

More importantly, the acupoints have been classified into different levels here.

There are specific guidelines regarding which spiritual foods should be consumed for each acupoint!

Bai Yu glanced at the training plan for 50-120 acupoints.

The acupoints listed here are all ones that he hasn't activated yet.

It seems that these acupoints are more difficult to activate!

Seeing Bai Yu's excitement, Wang Wen smiled gently and said, "I've arranged the resources for these few Earth-level acupoints for you. I'll arrange the rest for you as well."

"Tsk tsk, I feel like my strength is improving at an incredible rate lately! By the way, when is Professor Feng going back to Thunder Lab?"

"I talked to him yesterday, and he should be back in three to five days. I need to go to his place to plant some spiritual plants, so as not to waste so much lightning-type spiritual energy."

"Alright! Let me know when the time comes. I'm going back to the Investigation Bureau to train a bit first."

When they went out, they felt like they wanted to jump three feet high.

He was also thinking to himself: 'Today I got this Thundercloud Golden Fruit, and I even got a cultivation plan.'

"I'm going to the treasure vault tomorrow, and then to the Thunder Lab in a few days to have Old Feng set up a spirit array for me. I also have a Heavenly Origin Realm expert giving me guidance in the middle of this month!"

"This is a steady, solid takeoff!"

"What black-blooded monster, what vampire? They're all trash! We can easily take them down!"

"However, before I go to Thunder Labs, I need to deal with the Bloodstained Blood Research Institute. The human crisis isn't over yet; I can't afford to get carried away."

"To change the future, the only way is to steadily and practically reverse each and every step of the way!"
